THE MODOC WAK. 53 



Jack and his last warriors surrendered to a scouting party of cavalry, not to the five 

 Modocs sent after him. 



44, 5. Fort Klamath idsha, or better : Fort Klamathp^e'ui idsha. The national 

 name for this locality is I-uk4ka, luk/ik, E-ukdk. 



44, 5. hashu^tko, uncommon Modoc form, contracted from hashashuakitko, by 

 elision of two syllables. 



44, 6. stina'sh for shtina'shtat. Generic nouns of places, dwellings, etc., easily 

 drop their locative case-sufi&xes and case-postpositions ; cf. kaila for kiiilatat, 44, 8 and 

 9. Ydmak, 44, 10, is an abbreviation of Ydmatkshi or Ydmat=gishi. 



44, 7. kshaggaya is incorrectly used here instead of igg^ya, which is said when a 

 plurality of long-shaped objects (including persons) is referred to. 



44, 8. iggaya. The execution of the four malefactors took place at Fort Klamath 

 on the 3d of October, 1873, under an immense concourse of Indians and whites living 

 in the vicinity. It is estimated that the whole Klamath Lake ti'ibe was present, men, 

 women, and children. The gibbet constructed for this purpose, of enormous magnitude, 

 stands there at the present day. Bantcho and Slulks were sentenced to imprisonment 

 for hfe. Bantcho died some time in 1875 in the fortress and prison of Alcatraz Island 

 in the harbor of San Francisco, California, and Slulks is serving his term there at the 

 present time. 



44, 9. ati kaila. The approximate number of Modocs brought to the Indian Ter- 

 ritory for having participated in the revolt, was 145, women and children included ; 

 they were first placed on the Eastern Shawnee reserve, and afterwards removed to 

 that of the Quapaw Indians. Owing to the moist and sultry southern climate of their 

 new home, many of their children died during the first years after their arrival, and 

 the Report of the Indian Commissioner for 1878 states 103 as the whole number of 

 the Modocs remaining in the Territory.
